Zucchini Fritters Recipe

My Zucchini FrittersRecipe is one that you’ll want to save to make again and again! This recipe makes good use of the zucchini from your garden, and the perfect way to sneak a some veggies into your kiddos!

While there are many variations of a zucchini fritter recipe, I have (humbly) perfected this one. I use onion powder rather than raw onions because I personally like the subtle flavor. Grated the zucchini also gives the finished fritters a really yummy consistency and makes it easier to hide the veggies. I don’t peel the zucchini first, but if you’re trying to hide it from your kiddos, you’ll want to do that before grating.

Ingredients

Instructions

Place a Dutch oven or deep heavy skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add the oil - about 3-inches - and bring up to temperature - about 350-degrees.

Peel (if you want) and grate the zucchini. Set it into a strainer in the sink and allow extra moisture to drain.

Beat together the egg and milk into a large bowl.

In another bowl, mix together the cornmeal, flour, onion powder, zucchini and cheese. Add the beaten egg mixture and stir gently. Let the mixture sit about 5 minutes before frying.

Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cookie cooling rack. This will help the excess oil drip off so your fritters will stay crisp.

Using a small cookie scoop, drop about 1-inch balls into the hot oil. Take care not to splash, and be sure not to crowd the pan or the fritters won't crisp up.

Fry the fritters until golden brown on one side - about 3-5 minutes - before turning. Once golden all the way around, remove to the prepared cookie cooling rack and sprinkle immediately with kosher salt. Serve hot.
